Everyone thinks I’m younger than I actually am. I don’t know if it’s my dashing good looks (ha!), the bright colors I wear, the ridiculous accessories (bright blue and pink heart necklaces, pink paisley rainboots, two colored stockings), or the toys I own. Probably, it’s the toys.

I enjoy toys a lot, all the better if they serve some other adult function, like erasing or holding cotton swabs. Of course, good vs. evil unicorns may serve no extra purpose, but they are ironic in a +10 kind of way. For those who enjoy them, toys also make great stocking stuffers!

I love this guide the most! I would be quite happy to receive anything on it, but the unicorns in particular would be a fave…I’m a 23 yo who quite often acts like a 7 yo. lol.

I just acquired my first My Little Pony unicorn to add to the collection of My Little Ponies on my desk at work :D

I am glad there are other early/mid twenty-ers out there who like things made for 7 year olds! I feel like when I go home this xmas I want to revisit some of my old toys & see what I can bring out for decoration. My Little Ponies, perhaps?

You know what I forgot on this list! Key chains with mini-board games on them! I have a collection of these, and they do bridge the adult/child gap because they are both key chains & toys.

Haha, I want a tour of your Hello Kitty bathroom! Bathrooms are fun because they can be very randomly thematic, and no one thinks you are weird.
